The field of selection in all brands of tobacco

favor of the standard and popular brands OF
this old and well-known firm. To our mer-
chants, local and distant, We extend a cordial
Invitation to call at once and inspect our full
assortment of these goods. We have handled
them for years and the increasing demand has
now justified us in laying before you the most

A9-It is this system of careful selection rather
than to resort to glaring autographs and costly
pictorial advertising that il relies on to adver-
tise their goods, believing that their intrinsic
merit is the best Recommendation. This course
has been justified by the results, for to-day
there are no tobaccos which equal in popularity

have finished him of handsomely, on

At the very first discharge OF their
pistols Blackboard had been shot
through the body, but he was not for
giving up for that-not he. AS said
before, he was OF the true roaring, rag
ing breed OF pirates, and stood up to
it until he received twenty more cut
lass cuts and five additional shots,
and then fell dead while trying to fire
of an empty pistol. After that the
lieutenant cut of the pirates head,

bloody trophy nailed to the bow OF
his baretted sloop.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Raise Better Horses.

Fashion has brought about many
changes in horse breeding among
American farmers. and no race has set
the new style more forcibly or to larger
purpose than the American trotting
horse. The American trotter Is n horse
capable of every services there is, in al
most literal truth, no limit to the speed
in which he can trot one mile, and his
capacity of endurance. whereof such
contests are most exciting proof, is
accepted as fact in the minds Of all
observant men, while his patient tenn
per, and good size, combined with the
extraordinary muscularity with which
true systems of breeding have endowed
him, render him an exceedingly
valuable animal for any work OF labor
and routine.
The farmer who is looking forward
to Improvement in his stock, must be
careful in making selection of his
breeding animals. and herein. 1t is of
the utmost Importance that the sire
chosen be an available. valuable, and
in every respect, choice animal,
possessing individually and ancestrally
the best qualities which the offspring is
desired to possess.

Water I'm Butter.

While salt will readily dissolve at
fifty degrees, it is not so easy to get
the butter free from the surplus water,
and il is by this needless water that
much injury is done to butter. Fifty
five degrees would be better, and salt
the butter at sixty degrees Water is

butter, however well worked-but the
more water remaining after working
over. the greater the chemical action,
and acting upon the minute particles OF
curd or cheese, it becomes rancid by
well known chemical action. Butter
should not contain more water than is
necessary to dissolve what salt it will re-

More water than this dilutes the brine.
and defeats by so much the object OF
the use of salt in butter-to preserve
the caseine from chemical change--nor
can this be accomplished save in a
temperature below fifty degrees. In
the usual creamery butter, and all that
made by cold setting, the maker often
unintentionally leaves more than TWEEN

Outstanding that butter made from
cream slightly acid, retains more mois-
ture than that made from sourer
cream. The souring breaks up the
texture of the cream, and the butter
separates better from the buttermilk.
Then all the butter-maker needs to dc
is to churn the ripened cream at low
er temperature than is needed for sour,
to use salt each time in washing il free
from buttermilk. and when the regula-

Farmers Encampments.

These encampments strike us as like
Iy to prove very beneficial TO the farm
ing interest. If properly managed,
they can scarcely fail of being instruc-
tive and useful to the rural communi-
ties in which they are held, and indeed
to all participants speakers and hear
ers, exhibitors and spectators, and sell
ers and buyers. They combine the
prominent features of farmers insti-
tutes and clubs, agricultural exhibit
tons, and also of the sale or exchange
fairs so common and popular in Great
Britain. The results of these novel as
semblages will naturally be awaited
with great interest, and If they shall
prove as beneficial to the rural people
and communities of the South as is an
tcipated, farmers encampments will
doubtless soon be introduced in other
sections of the Union and also in Cana
da. The plan certainly seems feast
BILE, and If it shall be carried out judic-
iously-without the communicating adj
juncts and influences of liquor selling,
horse racing, gambling. etc.-it will
naturally be organized as worthy of
adoption by earnest friends of agricult-
ural improvement in various parts of
the continent.
Hence, while we may be mistaken as
to its practical working, we are inclin-
ed 10 believe the Farmers Encamp-
ment" good institution. and that our
Southern brethren are entitled to
special credit for its Inauguration as n
factor in promoting the cause of indus
trial improvement and the elevation of
those engaged in agricultural and kin
dred pursuits

The Poultry Yard in Autumn.

Mistake is sometimes made by poul-
try fancers. and those in the business
as well, in placing too many eggs UNI
der hen for her brooding. No larger
number than nine can be set with per-
feet safety, in the autumn; and, there
fore, il it be desirable to bring out
many chickens, the art of managing
two or more sitting hens at once should
be acquired. In such case the fanc,er
OF breeder can put two broods to-
gether and. being careful about the
night shelter. there need be no difficult
ty in accommodating so many broods
as shall number twenty to fifty chick
ems to the attention of single hen,
particularly if the weather of the
season be reasonably mild and settled.
Late chicks should be cared for by
their mother until few weeks old,
when they can be placed together in a
well sized box, the oben sides of which
are covered by coarse wire netting.
The floor of the box should be well COW
cred with fresh soil, and have simply
made brooder a. one end. for the little
things to run under at night. Give
the box place in the kitchen, for the
chicks can't get under your feet, nor
can rats or cats disturb them; set box
and contents out in thesun when it
shines warmly; change soil frequently,
feed and watch brood carefully. In
this way it will be not difficult to raise
all successfully.
Do not keep to many old hens. Sc
lect reliable sitters and mothers, as
many as are needed for that purpose.
Dispose of the rest. and keep early
Matched spring pullets to lay in fall
and winter.
For keeping broodng hens clearly.
invest in good bunch of tobacco
leaves; put few leaves under the sit
ting hens, and scatter them around the
fowl house; tie some punches on the
sides also, and there will be no trouble
from vermin.

New Y Ork Tcnements.

New York Correspondence OF Bos.
ton Advertiser: There are thousands
just like them, inhabiting the great
- nements of Baxter street and Null
Irry Bend. Dirty, ignorant. brutal,
estial to q degree which SURPRISES
imagination. They live together not
like animals, but like vermin. There
is no mortality, no religion; they
know no law. If two OF the men get
into a fight and one Injuries the other,
there is no appeal to the law OF the
land. The injured man waits his OPP
portunity and kills his enemy. FAM
ly ties are very loosely regarded, and
to me the surprising feature OF the
case is, that Cignarale should have OBJ
iected TO his wife's infidelity. 1t is
common enough among these people
where two families live together in n
room 12x14 in size, and frequently
take four or five boarders in addition.

sleeping in O room no larger than

one OF these tenements. ] have seen
Italian fathers and mothers, just like
the Cignarale couple, offer to sell their

So. l have seen fifty men, women
and children on sweltering nights such
as we are having now lying in all de-
grees OF nudity upon the flat roof OF
one OF the great tenements. i have
seen whole family, from the little
child not three years old to hefather
and mother, stupidity drunk in one OF
the stuffy rooms. And these are no
isolated cases. They are the rule, not
the exception. II you think l am
overstating the fact, go yourself the
next time you are IN New York, but

Sea Lions.

1.-THE best sea lion contract ever
made was with p. II. Barnum in
1871" said Captain Cyrus Eastman
to San Francisco Examiner report
er recently. Ellis agent entered into
a contract with me to deliver pair
alive to him in New York City, and
paid me 81 900 upon my signing the
papers, and the final output was
somthing like $4,000. / took two
men and went to Santa Barbara
where chartered n schooner and took
on board six OF the best lassoers Iva
queros) that | could get.
"San Miguel island at that time was
alive with sea lions. There was no
trouble in lassoing sea lion, but the
difficulty was to make the lasso hold,
as sea lions neck is larger than his
head. 1t was all right as long as he
was headed from you, but as soon as
he turned the RATA would slip of and
you lost him.
"My only capture on the first trip
was three small ones, but as they did
not come up 10 the required welgnt
for Barnum sold them to John Rob-
\ inson at Omaha, where they were an
Immense attraction.
"On my second trip I added to my
force and took hunting crew OF eight
men, and profiting by my former ex-
perience | had my rats fixed with
fishhooks, and also well plastered
with resin, but / could not hold the
beasts, and so shot one, and throw
ing the lasso over O nipper | found
that it would hold. All that seal
has to do is to give me his ripper and
do Is to give me his flipper and have
got him.

Care OF Work Horses.

Frequently the farm horse suffers from
our feeding, and from being worked
on full stomach; for farm horses eat
all the time, and look lean and wire
coated-two certain proofs of chronic
digestion. Horses which have passed
many hours in work. when released
from harness are allowed to drink all
the water their exhausted systems crave
for; then, with the material of small
iceberg in their distended inner organs.
they are turned loose to further injure
themselves by grazing in the pasture;
or. If the farmer is well TO do they go to
the barn, and there, tormented by flies,
mosquitoes. and other winged pests
devour a carelessly prepared ration.
after which the remainder of the night
is passed in stamping and fighting in
secn. Farm horses are overfed, CON-
monty, insufliciently groomcd. and
never judiciously either housed or
clothed. In summer, farm work ought
to commence with the rising of the
sun and cease at noon, when men and
horses should seek the friendly shelter
of the house and stable. The horses
just from the field ought then to be
stripped of all harness, have their eyes
and nostrils washed out, the marks of
the harness also washed off. and then
be rubbed with 'wisp"-which
simple and inexpensive stable imple-
ment is better for the horse than is a
brush, whose coarse stalks irritate the
skin and temper of the suffering beast.
The wisp soothes and causes a
healthy action of the skin. when the
horses have been thus attended to, and
they have cooled of.

Chevlot and the Black-faced Scottish
sheep. The Southdown will thrive In
lower lands than either OF the others,
but all sheep do best on a rolling
country ilanked by hills. Perfect drain
age and clear running water are
necessary for success in sheep growing.
Close heritage is most desirable, but
can be spensed with in small farming
when roots and some grain form n part
of the daily ration in winter. and when
the summer pasture is not over luxuri-
ant. Thick grasses are offensive to the
sheep whereas the short but sweet her
bage cropped from the hillside, suilices
to keep the flocks in health, and II
small extra allowance puts up the flesh
which brings in the extra gain. The
largest number of sheep and lambs yet
offered for sale this current year in one
week has been $4,000 odd. Were the
flocks offered as promising as they
reasonably should be from the first of
May to autumn, the local markets of
New York would not be overstrained
by the arrival of 10000 in seven days.
Sheep of good quality since the first of
January last have been scarce, and in
varably proved to be in steady demand,
and were firm in value.
